for backtrack, very easy and the disc is always the same, it only has 1 file to download
sorinello: dont forget to mark the programs as trusted
rango: you have to use the usb key as a source
rango: so you have to download the packages, configure the packages, copy them over and then run dpkg
SunTsu: Does it work by using the button on the usb key or have to press keys on the keyboard on the computer?
k1l_, ok, i'll try it right away
Sorinello: and when you are in settings there is a button on the right side. look at that
k1l_, so I just have to install something on my PC right?
rango: as far as I know you just have to press keys on the keyboard
And then download and install on my phone right?
Sorinello: i just looked if there is an appstore on my phone so far. that is the first thing i used to install some apps on my ubuntu phone.
ok
k1l_, there is indeed, but it's kinda buggy, the install process doesn't work, it crashes
rango: just open a terminal and run: dpkg -i /path/to/package.deb
Sorinello: well, then you need to report that.
That's what I'm doing now
But there's something else I don't get: Why doesn't the download for the app appear on my Ubuntu desktop?
Sorinello: in the screenshots you showed the first time you just saw the install process?
rango: there might be some reason why dpkg cannot resolve the package name, please try to install it in a different manner, e.g. try to run "sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package.deb"
k1l_, yes, that's correct
k1l_
